that is sweet I must say. I have been wanting to attempt the construction of a leather bag. However, I really dont know where to start. If ever completed I am sure it would be an unique bag! Any ideas on dimensions?

It looks like you used acrylic for the sides -- what did you use for the rods? If you used acrylic like it looks, it is likely stronger (better) than the revo frame.

One suggestion I have, a clever bit on the revo bag is that it put a ribbed piping on the outside of the dowel (rod) to keep the discs from sliding. You could probably find something like that at Home Depot really cheap (or in a junkyard/trash bin, like my old art school days). Or, if you wanted to get really clever, you could cut the ribs yourself, but that might make the unit less structurally secure.

Really nice job. You could probably sell a few to make a few extra bucks to buy the bag part of a revo or gateway.

That is awesome! I've been toying around with making my own for year just haven't gotten around to it. I was going to use plexiglass for the sides and cover the wooden dowels in the kind of thing used to run computer wires through.

Texas Outlaw: If you do end up using plexiglass, ask for "Clear Acrylic". Plexiglass is the brand name for clear acrylic, so you can almost always save money by getting the generic stuff.

It *looks* like ThatDirtyKid used a colored acrylic, which is like clear acrylic/plexi, only with color. The reflective shine in the photo is what makes me think that.

The acrylic is a very good choice, I think, but it can be a *little* tougher to work with than a wood product. The best way to cut it is to do multple scores and then snap. This can sometimes yield less than desireable results. It would also be harder to get a rounded edge to the board. You could use a power sander to do that.

It is the colored acrylic plexi, I had some scraps in the garage. The pipes are just 1/2" pvc. And for ribs I was accually thinking of some wire conduit (probably what texas was talking about) I accually have some left over from rewireing my car.

Probably so. The kind we have here is probably the industrial vareity as it comes in huge spools.

Those are some good ideas right now, but not a priority right now. If anyone would ever be interested in one I might be up to making one if you gave me dimensions. To be honest I dont know where to get the plexi. It was scraps that I had laying around.

I put some conduit on it and discs are standing up fairly well at 3/4ths full (they would slide some for every disc you take out)
